Mortgage Basics

The first step in buying your home is determining your budget.

Use the Life Events Planner – Mortgage Qualifier Calculator to find out how much you can afford to borrow towards purchasing a home and what your payments will be.  

Getting Started

We know that taking out a mortgage can be stressful and sometimes confusing, so from consultation to closing, our Financial Service Representatives will make the process easy.

Just call or visit one of our experienced and professional Financial Service Representatives, in our Retail Sales department at any of our branch locations. 

Conventional 
vs. High Ratio

The down payment you are able to contribute to your mortgage will determine if your mortgage will be classified as a conventional or high ratio mortgage. 

High Ratio mortgages require a premium to be added to the total amount of the mortgage.

Capacity to Pay

To help determine how much you can borrow, the following two ratios should be taken into consideration:

  • Gross Debt Service Ratio (GDSR)
  • Total Debt Service Ratio (TDSR)
